ive been using kodi (xbmc was better moniker) since google killed sagetv. i recall attempting plex, but it seemed to lack some open/extensibility (its been awhile).
i have a side project i want to make as a modular plugin generating a cable layout with original air orders and networks/channels… kodi seems most optimal, but ill admit its been a long while since i looked at plex.
so why plex over kodi?
Just so you know that’s mostly a worse/feature locked jellyfin. Jellyfin was forked from emby as emby-unlocked when they started doing stupid shit in the name of monetization.
I’m aware of that but it happens to be supported and easy to set up on the seatbacks that I use
